Not quite the same situation but just as scary....started to feel a little unwell last Tuesday....indigestion, heatburn that type of thing....managed to put up with it til the early hours of Wednesday morning...pain increasing, not being able to swallow anything at all...worst and most scary thing was i vomited blood like stuff 3 to 4 times....ended up in the A&E department of my local hospital....was admitted...put on a drip....lucky for me there was a 'band' doctor at the hospital who emptied my band...was kept in for 4 days until i could eat solid food.
I still don't know what caused all the trouble....doctor checked for an ulcer...nothing...so i am unfilled and still a little sore around the ribs but grateful i can eat and drink normally....going for a check up on Thursday not even going to think about getting anything put in the band for at least 6 weeks....if i'm honest i'm a little scared!!
